I know it's not the most popular thing to say, but there are times when I feel we're a bit over saturated in the 9/11 stuff. I mean, we were having one month aniverserys for the first 6 months. Every song, movie, sporting event, political topic, rally, ass pimple, whathaveyou is dedicated to 9/11. I really wish we could have let it go a bit over the past...300 or so days so we could have a true rembemberance of it now. I think most people have tried to forget the pain which can be a good thing, but it has cost us more than the burden of pain that we would have had to bear.
If anyone feels the same way, there is a tempoary remedy for you. Go download (or better yet, buy the whole album) bruce springstein's the rising. It makes you rembember the pain, but it also makes you realize just how fortunate you are.
